Lyrics
[Intro]
Breathe, oh
Woo, woo, woo
Breathe
[Refrain]
One and then the two, two
Two and then the three, three
Three and then the four, four
Then you gotta breathe, breathe
One and then the two, two
Two and then the three, three
Three and then the four, four
Then you gotta breathe, breathe
Then you gotta, uh
Then you gotta, uh
[Chorus]
Yo, these **** can't breathe when I come through, Hum 2
Some shoes, gotta be twenty man, it's not even funny, they can't
Breathe
The choke hold's too tight, the left looks too right
You know what? You right, these bitches can't
Breathe
Look, look, they hearts racin', they start chasin', but I'm so fast when I blow past that they can't
Breathe
In the presence of the man, your future looks better than ya past, if you present with the man, you better
Breathe
[Verse 1]
You **** can't share my air or walk a mile in the pair I wear
And I'm gettin' better year by year, like they say wine do
Cops couldn't smell me if you brought the canines through
And I pace myself, I know these money-hungry bitches wanna taste my wealth
But I keep 'em on a diet, embrace they health
Or either keep 'em on the quiet and space myself and just take a deep breath
I got 'em grabbin' they chest, 'cause it's hurtin' 'em to see Fab in his best and they in they worst
They'd rather see me lay in the hearse than lay in the 'Bach
And I ain't just layin' a verse, I'm sayin' the facts
I came back with some sicker stones
That got these broke **** lookin' at me like they chokin' on a chicken bone
Every chick I bone can't leave the dick alone
So I know, it's one of them every time I flip my phone
Breathe
[Refrain]
One and then the two, two
Two and then the three, three
Three and then the four, four
Then you gotta breathe, breathe
One and then the two, two
Two and then the three, three
Three and then the four, four
Then you gotta breathe, breathe
One and then the two, two
Two an then the three, three
Three and then the four, four
Then you gotta breathe, breathe
Then you gotta, uh
Then you gotta, uh
[Chorus]
Yo, these **** can't breathe when I come through, Hum 2
Some shoes, gotta be twenty man, it's not even funny, they can't
Breathe
The choke hold's too tight, the left looks too right
You know what? You right, these bitches can't
Breathe
Look, look, they hearts racin', they start chasin', but I'm so fast when I blow past that they can't
Breathe
In the presence of the man, your future looks better than ya past, if you present with the man, you better
Breathe
[Verse 2]
I see 'em on the block when I passes, lookin' like they need oxygen masks, I make it hard to
Breathe
But I keep the Glocks in the stashes, 'cause the cops wanna lock and harass us, and make it hard to
Breathe
They has to react, like havin' a asthma attack, when they see the plasma in back
You dudes are wheezin' behind me
My flow is like a coupe, breezin' at ninety, that's the reason they signed me
The slick metaphors and hard punches on the cuts
Feels somethin' like hard punches to the gut
I address the haters and under estimators
And ride up on 'em like they escalators
They shook up and hooked up to respirators
On they last breath talkin' to investigators
I'ma breath of fresh air in fresh pair
Face it, boo, and do it till your face get blue, and then
Breathe
[Refrain]
One and then the two, two
Two and then the three, three
Three and then the four, four
Then you gotta breathe, breathe
One and then the two, two
Two and then the three, three
Three and then the four, four
Then you gotta breathe, breathe
One and then the two, two
Two and then the three, three
Three and then the four, four
Then you gotta breathe, breathe
Then you gotta, uh
Then you gotta, uh
[Verse 3]
Yo, these **** can't
Breathe
When the crew walk in it, pop a few corks in it as quick as a tick in a New York minute
Catch a breath, 'fore you catch a left
Even worse, catch a Tef', only way you catchin' F to the A-B, is in the May-B, rollin' with my baby
Grippin' on a toy that you won't find at KB
I rhyme slick on ya, they gon' have to put the Heimlich on ya
What you know 'bout lettin' dimes lick on ya?
While you inhale the weed and it won't stop till they inhale ya seed
And it don't stop, till I tell 'em to breathe
Like a doctor with a stethoscope
I don't see no fuckin' hope
Unless these motherfuckers
Breathe
[Verse 4]
Yeah, Brooklyn gotta
Uptown gotta
The Bronx gotta
Queens gotta
Staten Isle gotta
You **** gotta
You bitches gotta
Everybody
Breathe
[Outro]
One and then the two, two
Two and then the three, three
Three and then the four, four
Then you gotta
Breathe
Then you gotta
Then you gotta
Breathe
